I also have this issue on Windows 8 (and yet also run it flawlessly on Server
2012 going on a year now). I haven't fixed it yet, but in my case, I have
noticed that the problem primarily exists on laptops. So my current running
theory is that when the laptop goes to sleep, or hibernates, it screws with the
service, and fails to restart, because the .pid file already exists. I've
considered rewriting (whenever I have the time) the startup script to check
for, and delete the .pid file before trying to start the actual binary.
Thanks,

Tim, do you mind sharing the CMD-file?
